Scatological news of the day!
It must gain something in the translation…
from Xinhua
Spitzer’s iron wrist shits to music industry
BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's office now shits their attention to the music industry, particularly its practices for influencing what songs are heard on the public airwaves...
I kid you not. Google News, which is computer-generated, repeated this headline verbatim in their hourly news wrapup. By the time you view it, if if doesn’t read exactly as I have copied it here, it has been “fixed.”
It has been noticed. The news.google category has responses - from p2p.net :
Shits to music industry? So says Xinhuanet, the web site for China’s official state news agency, Xinhua. It almost works, and it carries over into the body text.
I was certain I was the only one on Earth who saw that.
Knowing that I’m not is quite damaging to my self-esteem.
